My friends and I attended their day party yesterday. The drinks were good and priced just right. We wanted to eat, but they were really crowded and we couldn't get a table. The DJ was on point! It started to get hot until they opened the roof top. The rooftop was cool, but small. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that they were holding the line outside like it was crowded inside!!! Fellas: there were some gorgeous ladies in the building. Ladies: the fellas were definitely lurking and ready to buy drinks! Just a quick FYI read more

DO NOT GO HERE. The manager told us that we could get a section/booth for $400 (it was two tables pulled together) and then charged us an extra $100 and $146 for "extra costs" they are SCAMMERS. We are from California and will NOT be going here again read more

It was definitely live as fuck a lil ghetto ass fuck and crowd if u go one the second floor. The bottom floor was kinda more relax. If you dont like a place that has the music turned all the way the fuck up this is not the place for you. If you ready to pop that pu**y then definitely come here. They have hookah here they are a lil expensive at $39 and u get to flavors. Also there aren't a lot of dudes. It was definitely a pu**ycat party. read more

Café Circa - Hookahs - Desserts Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This place right here!!! It brings something special to Edgewood. I've been here a couple of times now and look forward to making this one of my regular stops for Girls Night Out. Ambiance: This is a hip hop/RnB establishment. I love the vibe when I come here. It's not upscale but it's not low class either. Come as you are (although I did see something about having selective entry in regards to dress code) and just have a good time! The music on Friday nights is absolutely amazing!! They play all of the old school jams where you can't help but Bob your head a bit. There's also a rooftop bar that will be great once the weather is better. Food: I have only had the gumbo here and holy Sh!% I think I died and went to food heaven. It was spicy and flavorful and just everything you could ever want in a gumbo! It was pretty fairly priced as well ($9). The fact they don't have curbside delivery is the only thing that would stop me from eating this 5 nights a week. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because the music was too loud. It was nearly impossible to hold a conversation. I wish they would wait until later to crank the sound up. read more

I went to 'Café Circa' this past Saturday with a few friends to enjoy my cousin being in town. The night went well enough for me to consider going back for another night. I arrived around 10: 30p.m.; the dinner crowd was still there. There was a live band, that performed, cover songs and the lead could actually sing! That's a big thing for those of you who love music and listen to live bands; how horrible is it to hear someone mess up one of your favorite songs? Our waiter (Demarcus) was entertaining, he was polite and attentive; my water glass was never empty. I ordered the Strawberry 'Kale' Salad; however there was no Kale it in. So it was more like a 'Strawberry Arugula Salad'. I don't know if I look like I don't eat enough vegetables to tell the difference or what, but our waiter didn't tell me ahead of time that my greens were going to be replaced. However, the salad was ridiculously delicious so if I return and order the 'Strawberry Kale Salad' I am going to be highly disappointed if I don't get my Arugula. The salad was about $12.00; my drink Georgia Peach was good as well; that was another $12.00; plus Gratuity $5; and taxes. My bill was $32.00 Other details: **The ambiance was wonderful. I really enjoyed the décor and even better they didn't have stalls for restrooms. There were two separate bathrooms, I used both, and both were clean and fully stocked. **I had to park in the pay lot; it was $20 to part I the lot; they began towing cars that were parked on the streets. Basically, if you can Uber consider being dropped off. ** After the dinner crowd leaves, it turns into a 'club'/lounge type of scene. If you aren't into that type of thing, get there early and leave when the band goes home. read more

A place I've frequented but have chosen to no longer visit after this evening. Atmosphere/music is good, food is subpar. This evening in particular my friends and I came to their day party after brunching elsewhere. A friend and I were the only ones to make a purchase at the table we sat at. He paid in cash for several items and I paid with a card. Once I got home- there's a Facebook message from our server stating that my friend did not pay for one specific item and that we ALL would banned from the establishment if not resolved (not sure how that would work... but okay). The entire party witnessed this friend Pay $60 in cash for a $58 bill (I paid with a card which is how she was able to find my info). It's interesting that the server only stated that he didn't pay for the hookah when he had 2 other items that he consumed in addition to that. The server brought his change for all items. SIDENOTE: seems as if there may be a training opportunity for their staff. When my friend returned to the establishment to gain understanding as to why the server would accuse him of running out on the bill- he could only speak to a female security guard (who we interact with every time we visit) with dreads who claimed to be the "manager" that could present no resolution to us. The weekend before we had purchased 2 sections on their rooftop and was looking to do the same next weekend. However, after this treatment we've opted to take our business elsewhere. Ultimately, we're not sure what happened to his $58. ALSO: the wings I paid for were over cooked and chewy. If anyone is going to reach out via Facebook it should've been me for those wings. Tip: pay with a card so there's a record of your purchase. read more

Terrible terrible terrible service! First time there in a long time and the service was terrible!!! $20 to get in at 8:30pm when it's been free then waited 30 mins to get one drink. I asked to speak with the manger and she was arguing with some guy behind the bar and never got my drink!! They didn't wipe down our tables in when other people left! Smh never ever saw a place like this!! read more

Came in town From Vegas to celebrate a birthday and decided to come here for brunch. Sat at the table for 45 minutes after placing our order, didn't even receive as much as a glass of water. They have the bartender serving as well as tending the bar and a lot of workers standing around smoking hookah. On top of that the gratuity of 20% was placed on every order, probably because of the fact that they wouldn't receive a tip otherwise due to the poor service. read more

So, about Saturday night... Cafe Circa is literally a restaurant that is kind of like a club. Kinda. Per usual I went online to book a reservation for a table, however, they appeared to be all full(according to the online app)! Showed up anyway around 12ish only to see several wide open tables. Don't get me wrong the place was jumping people were standing around and the music was EVERYTHING but there WERE vacant tables. Anyway, we inquired with the "hostess" about having a seat and we were told without hesitation that it would be $25 to sit down...sureeee no problem. But really cafe circa, you charge people just to sit down and order drinks and food? Why not just change entry to everyone coming in? You card and search bags. So, we paid, then sit down, ordered a round of shots, and some finger food. We were not greeted by a server, there was no formal service, drinks took forever, we never got utensils, water came when the food was gone, and the food was just mediocre this night. The speaker downstairs kept going in and out which was a huge buzz kill. Imagine jamming to your jam and the speaker going in and out! Blah! So we decided to check out the rooftop scene upstairs. Now the rooftop was were the party was at. The music was much louder. The bar upstairs was packed, service was SLOW, but the music was on point. Ratchet dot com and I mean that in the most professional way. It was 94.5 with curse words. People were dancing, we were dancing, and completely forgot about the horrible service. We knew it was time to go when the DJ kept saying 10 more minutes and started playing baby making music. R Kelly, Silkk, Keith Sweat, and those kind of jams. All in all, it was a good night. Would have preferred better service at the fee based table. Saturday night is a good night to go if you like a crowd and good hip hop. 5 stars for music 1 star for service Two different extremes so I'm going with a 3 do to value & service. read more

Café Circa - 6 people just kinda ran through this... - Desserts Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This is a great spot. Perfect place to unwind after work or go on a date. I came here during happy hour and was not disappointed. They have great food and drink specials during happy hour. I got a taste of the jerk wings and ordered the calamari. Both tasted wonderful. Someone told me that the steak was great also. I order an old fashioned drink. Best whiskey drink I ever had. The patio was great. This is more of a nice weather thing then something the restaurant did. I did like the way the staff was attentive. There was always a waiter around when I needed one and they were always polite and helpful. The parking situation is pretty bad. There is a small parking lot beside the place that everyone shares which means you will have to find parking on the street. Goodluck. I will definitely make my way back to this place. read more

I am a long time customer of Cafe circa. My friends and I patronize here often. We came in looked for a server to buy a hookah & were informed you must buy a bottle to get a hookah and section. She told us that it was $237. We agreed to pay the $237 for the bottle and hookah & sat at the only open booth. As I was sitting I noticed something poking me in the back. There were two loose screws sticking out of the wooden booth. The screws were so loose that they punctured two holes in the top and bottom of my outfit. I notified the server and she assured me that management would rectify the situation and at the very least reimburse me for my outfit. A busser came over to nail in the screws and then the manager was sent over. She apologized but told me that there was nothing that Cafe circa would do for the inconvenience besides reimburse my outfit. About 15 minute slayer she came back and told my party that we would have to LEAVE. After we paid for our section because when I made the complaint I mentioned legal repercussions & apparently our section was discounted even though that was never mentioned to us. It's been nearly two weeks and I have not heard anything from any one at cafe circa regarding the matter. I am not looking for any settlement I would just like for the business that I spend hundreds of dollars with to take some sort of further responsibility for the incident. There is no sound establishment that would allow two screws to puncture a customer, ruin their outfit and continue with the same attitude that was exhibited at cafe circa on Friday night. read more

Came here with two of my homegirls on a Friday evening. There was no line and no cover. Sat down and our server was a curly haired white guy who's name I can't recall but he was so kind. Ordered plantains, wings and spring rolls for food. All was SO GOOD! At midnight on Fridays they have live music. The local band was really good. There was an upstairs area but I didn't go there. Check it out. It gets packed so try to get there before 12 midnight on a weekend night. read more

Café Circa - @cafe circa - Desserts Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The food was just okay. I ordered the salmon croquettes and hated them. The veggies and rice that came with it was decent, though. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits - again, just okay, but better than what I ordered. Drinks were great! Live music was scheduled to start at 9 and it started at 9:11, which isn't bad. The band was great! Nice atmosphere, great service and sound. I'd definitely go back, I'd just be sure to eat first. Watch out for the included gratuity. Nowhere on the menu or in the restaurant was it indicated that there was a 20% automatic gratuity, which isn't cool at all. Luckily, our waitress was FABULOUS and I was already planning to leave a nice tip. I just don't like for places to spring that on you. Usually gratuity is included for larger parties, and it's only 18% max. 20% automatic gratuity for a party of 2 sends a signal that you don't trust your clientele. Bad for business, in my opinion. read more

I loved my first visit to The Reserve at Cafe Circa (ie- the rooftop area). I went here to meet one of my girl friends for some food and drinks after work for their happy hour, and just loved the atmosphere and setting. The drinks were good, and the rooftop provides lots of seating on a beautiful day. Not to mention, it's a great spot to catch a man/woman if you're on the lookout......lol....because let me tell you, there are definitely some good looking people that come out ! ;) It's a professional's hangout spot apparently, because everyone was looking quite dapper. Needless to say, I will definitely be back, regardless of your mood, it is great after work, as a date spot, and as a way to start the night out. Go check it out ! read more

I came here because my best friend invited me and she made a pretty good choice for once. The staff are extremely friendly and the bartender is excellent! I love the live band that they have playing and the food is so so so so good. I ordered the mac and cheese and this has had to be some of the best I've tasted. I also love how the band keeps the crowd pumped. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Mari.. Was my server, let's just say she can handle a large group. She accommodated greatly for me an my family, the hours we spent there. Will be back for sure read more

On a recent trip to Atlanta I made dinner reservations at this restaurant. As we drove to the restaurant we started questioning our choice, because the area its located at seems very sketchy. Being New Yorkers, we decided to put that behind us and give the place a try. We are so glad we did. The ambiance in Cafe Circa is super cool, super modern and at least on that night it was sexy. The crowd very hip and modern. Everything we ordered was delicious and the music was perfect (it was Jazz night). The decor is sumptuous, yet not stuffy. read more

So clearly my husband and I are the only non African American couple here as we were starred down right when we walked in. The employees clearly have no clear and set uniform. If they are supposed to be wearing black they're doing a terrible job at it. The whole de or is like a cheap strip club with lights that keel flickering and going out. The music is way too loud. There is no theme to this place. If you are going to call a place a cafe then make it a cafe. Oh and let's not forget that my purse was searched because they want to make sure people aren't bringing outside alcohol in. Either you don't want people bring in weapons or you want to know who's packing. OR your drink prices are too high for the cliental you are hosting. The bar was clean and the server was nice to me after she told me they were out of Diet Coke. She was nice during our meal and made sure we had everything we needed. Too bad the hostess couldn't be as friendly. Food was pretty good but why was there so much salt in the salad??? Oh yeah....you want people to drink. Yeah.....not gonna fall for that one. read more

2 stars is based solely on the black bartender. He is very attentive and makes excellent drinks. This place has NO parking. Now they have $50 minimum to sit at a table and you cant sit down at the bar! When open the rooftop is cool. Food is expensive and not very tasty. Only time I go is when someone else is treating. read more

Horrible customer service!!!! I booked a reservation for my birthday party on the rooftop so I paid a deposit of $200 to RESERVE that table. Rooftop opens at 5pm but I arrived at 5:10pm due to parking. THEY DID NOT RESERVE MY TABLE THAT I PAID MY $200 DEPOSIT ON . I STILL HAD TO PAY OFF MY BALANCE WHICH WAS $275 AND BUY ANOTHER TABLE FOR $250 JUST TO ACCOMODATE MY GUESTS I ORIGINALLY PAID THE $200 FOR. I am very very unhappy with their customer service. Doug a manager there did not help by any means and told me that because I talked to Von the promoter of the lounge and the online service he cannot do anything about that because they are third party. So they never tried to help for the inconvenience instead just asked for more money to sit my guest. I would Never recommend this place to anybody unless you don't care about being ripped off or don't have a party larger than 6. Vibe was cool but I wasn't trying to a spoil my actual birthday. Anyways this place is Trash. Pictures are Very Deceiving also! read more

Tonight was the last and worst experience at Cafe Circa. I had guest in town from Alabama and suggested Cafe Circa. I called 6 times between 6pm - 9pm on Saturday with no answer. How do you make reservations??? When we arrived it was pouring raining. The rude bouncer made us poor ladies stand out in the pouring rain since we could not find a seat to sit and eat . I'm upset and highly disappointed. The bouncer put the icing on the cake for never returning. So long Cafe Circa. You made sure 4 patrons felt unwelcomed. read more

Second time here. It's always something going on there. Food is decent. Prices are okay. Parking across the street for 5 dollars for 3 hours. Nice crowd. Great music. They also have hookah. I don't like smoke at all but my friend loved it. They have good ventilation so it wasn't all smoky and stinky. Rooftop is nice but you have to buy a table to sit. Ridiculous. We sat downstairs for free. Seating is very limited. Mac and cheese was not good at all. Burgers were just okay. The jerk chicken egg rolls were delicious. The staff was very pleasant. The area it's in doesn't seem too nice but had no issues. K Michelle's restaurant and a few other places are right down the road. There was some protestors on the corner chanting and yelling about nonsense. Wouldn't mind going back. read more

Café Circa - Desserts Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This place was ghetto as fuck! There is a reason I don't deal with gangsters and this is why...The worse experience ever! I would give zero stars if I could. We RSVPd for the event then we got inside and happened to walk out the door to call a friend regarding reserving a table thinking we were going to the rooftop, but ended up going out a back door and the bouncer made us go back around and we were forced to pay the cover. So ridiculous! I would not return or recommend coming here. The boss was completely ridiculous and the time was not worth it as all! I would save your money and go somewhere else! read more

this establishment is great the food the vibes the drinks and the elegant women the renovation they did makes the spot pop a little more

Pretty good service and the music is good but the food wasn't all that. Shrimp in grits was too salty and the taste was average , the wings weren't worth the money, and the lobster mac was a fake , barely any lobster and average taste but the jerk chicken rolls were really good. That's really the only food item I enjoyed. I'm glad I can say I tried it but I wouldn't come back. read more

PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!! This place throws an event called th R&B dinner party on Fridays and you can RSVP through eventbrite. 2 weeks prior to the event, I RSVP'D on eventbrite for a table party of 10 for 7pm for my birthday on that day. When we get there I was told the RSVP for the table was just for entry into the establishment, and that you have to call in to reserve a table, despite the RSVP being very clear that a table for party of ten was reserved. I was told my party can sit at the bar, because the venue does not know what the promoters are promoting for the event. The manager kept trying to tell a party of 10 to just sit at the bar and would not honor the reservation. My guess and I already paid $20 to park so we were a bit upset that we could not be seated. Then the manager says she can try to get us some drinks unless we wanted to leave. I have never experienced a place so unorganized, and honestly they ruined my birthday. The customer service is nonexistent, and they did not seem to care. If you are looking to have a good experience somewhere, this is not the place. read more

I cannot discourage people NOT to come here enough. I tried them out yesterday for the first and definitely final time. Parking, alone, was terrible. They charge you $20 to park near the restaurant or $10 to go down this shady-looking pathway with a HUGE puddle that looks like it will swallow up your car. One lady came in at the same time as me and decided this wasn't worth it. I wish I had followed her lead. A parking attendant tried to get me to park between two other cars with zero room to get out and 100% certainty our doors would hit each other. I'm glad I didn't listen to him. When that didn't work, he had me park near literal trash. I don't mean like a few chic-fil-a bags. I mean like actual wet, stinking garbage that a rat ran out of when I left. Not to mention, there was broken glass I drove over that he assured me was fine. All of my tires had glass on them and despite all that, this man wanted to try out his poetry on me and my date AND wanted a tip when we said we didn't want to hear it. $10 to get into the actual place itself because why not? Inattentive servers who ignored us for 15min and only took our orders when we moved to the bar. Decent but overpriced drinks and food, accompanied by a loud, obnoxious DJ. And when it came to finally leave this dump, one of the parking attendees harassed us and basically wanted proof we had paid and eaten there before we could leave. Awful experience. I'd rather eat at Guantanamo Bay than try here again. read more

This is a cool place to hangout but never, ever order to go via Uber. I hate to tear down black-owned businesses but they are simply incompetent when it comes to go Uber orders. I ordered argues salad w/ chicken and they forgot the chicken. I ordered the jerk wings and they sent plain wings (like not even salt or pepper). Lastly, I ordered the fried shrimp entree which comes with two sides and they forgot both sides. Cafe Circa better be careful. They are comically overpriced. If you serve overpriced food, your service has to be immaculate and they failed miserably. read more

My sister came down to visit for a weekend & we needed something to do nearby. Lately EW has been my go to destination for a night out in Atlanta. I typically Uber there because parking/driving is a MESS. Cafe circa is a couple doors down from Mothers and was LIVE. They have a rooftop so we were able to hear the party from street! It was only a $10 cover & once inside we were able to get a seat fairly quickly. I was a little disappointed they didn't have any taco shells or French fries! Hookah was nice , & you got 3 complimentary coal changed. (Usually they charge $5 in most clubs) overall I enjoyed myself & will definitely be back!!! read more

Loved this place!! I'd go back to Atlanta just for this spot alone. The vibe downstairs is classy with live music and a great waitstaff and a cool bar. We had the best shrimp I think I've ever had in my life when we went. Upstairs is more like an awesome house party but on the roof. I don't care for all the hookahs and stuff but the vibe was awesome. When you get tired of the house party, you can go back downstairs and have a classier vibe or vice versa. We will be back. Several times. read more

**BEWARE** I went to visit this place during August while in town (from Phoenix) on a Thursday night around 7pm. I covered about five drinks (beers) for my two friends and got a tab of around $30. No problem. We had a decent time conversing but the place had about 9 people there so it was pretty dead in comparison to other bars down that strip. Fast forward 2 months later as I am randomly reviewing my CC statement and low and behold I see a $60.22 charge from them. It's very disappointing to see this happen especially considering that i even tipped the bar tender that night. I have read many reviews cautioning people about this fraudulent practice so I will do my share for the Yelp community in warning about Cafe Circa: PAY WITH CASH. read more

It was dry when we went, sat at the bar and we had to make the best of our night. I was the DD so I didn't drink anything. My friends had a couple shots & they were still not too pumped about the vibes. read more

Girls Night! Had a great time here with my bffs. The food was really good it was only the wait that sucked. Our waiter was on every table that night but she still checked on us and kept our glasses full at a decent pace. The DJ was good and the hookah is nice. PARKING SUCKS! Take Uber or Lyft read more

I came here a few months back for my cousin's birthday and we had a amazing time. If you go and the weather is nice you must sit on the rooftop the view and atmosphere is nice! Their is a live DJ who sits upstairs on the rooftop as well. The drinks, food and the hookah was good. I am not sure if people tend to dress casual most of the time at this spot. But the specific night I went, nobody appeared to be "dressy" Guys wore baseball caps and most of the women had on flats with jeans. This is NOT a great spot for a date. I repeat this is NOT a great spot for a date..lol..the music is waaayy to loud and if you actually have plans on talking and listening to the person you are with, chances of that happening here are slim to none. The crowd is mixed you will see anyone from 21+ up until 41+..I think the older people tend to be there before 11, whereas that's the time the younger people may be coming in. Parking in this area is at least $20. There are other bars around so if you are up for a night of bar hopping Edgewood is the place to be. If you want to park for free, arrive before 9:00, free parking is available in Cafe Circa's parking lot but the spaces generally fill up quickly. Overall I had a amazing experience here and would definitely go back. read more

UPDATE: Unfortunately this place isn't the same and stopped being good mid 2012. My 5/5 is now a 3/5. I went back several times after my PERFECT Dec 2011 visit below, and the food was just okay, they don't offer the same dishes, it became very inconsistent. I still love the ambience and I like the rooftop, but the food though.... it's just okay. ORIGINAL REVIEW 5/5: I meandered out of Midtown last night and found myself off Edgewood and eating at Cafe Circa. Initially we walked to Empire State South to take on their "new age southern cuisine", but they couldn't take us since we didn't have reservations and they had 2 big parties coming in. I was very mildly offended at first, but that ended up being a blessing in disguise... b/c we ended up going to Cafe Circa which my friend had originally suggested. We parked behind the building, then walked around the corner past 'Church-- The Bar' and entered into Cafe Circa/The Reserve. It was pretty desolate, only one other couple eating, but it actually worked out in my favor because I was able to truly grasp the ambiance. And I looooved it. Very downtown, upscale bar type of feel... I can so see an intimate industry party being held here. I wish I would have taken pics, but my camera phone makes a noise, so I didn't want to draw attention to us. The servers were all very well-mannered and nice. Okay, now to the good stuff. Just a note, I was raised around alot of Jamaicans so as a person very knowledgeable about Caribbean food the menu instantly intrigued me. I'm particular about my Jamaican dishes, since alot of restaurants don't do it right, I really wanted to see if they handled the flavors properly.... THE APPETIZERS: -Caribbean Spiced Calamari: typical Calamari dish, but with a spicier taste. If you love calamari and like spicy food you'll like this. The sauce was a light and sweet tomato based sauce, it was a nice juxtaposition to the spicy. I'd say this is just as good as any other calamari dish. - Sweet Seared Plantain: Plantain is my favorite food in the world, so of course I had to try theres that has "Lemon, thyme, honey and spiced sea salt". You get about 5 or 6 very thick slices on a plate. My friend loved this, I thought it was just okay, but it's because I like my plantain much more cooked-- the Jamaican/carribean way. They make theirs the Cuban way where it's much softer and sorta mushy... so this is a preference type dish.. if you like a more solid but soft texture to your plantain like me you may not like this, but if you like yours very ripe and very very soft then you'll love this dish like my friend did. - Circa Beef Patties: THE BEST take on the traditional Jamaican beef patty. I mean, just super delish, it taste totally homemade. The bread is so soft and buttery and flakes just perfectly while the beef on the inside is the perfect texture and flavor. I mean my goodness, these are so darn good you have no idea. You get 3 of these, but I could have easily take down a dozen. TWO THUMBS UP/ 5 STARS on these mini patties. THE ENTREES: - Jerk Pork Chop: I don't really eat pork chop, it's just not a food that was cooked on a regular in my house growing up, but I just HAD to try theirs b/c is sounded delicious and I wanted to see if their jerk flavoring was good. I got it made medium well. Initially cutting into it I thought that maybe I got it too cooked b/c it was seemingly more chewy than moist, but when I put the first bite in my mouth-- man oh man- yowzers! One of the best entrees I've had all year! It was delectable, couldn't have gotten any better until I scooped up a piece with the sweet corn and green beans underneath. I am telling y'all this meal is totally 5 stars, I felt like I was eating at one of the best restaurants this side of the Mississippi-- forreal. - Salmon Filet: My friend had this dish, and it was very very good as well. He ate the entire plate very quickly and also had a hefty portion of my pork chop. It may have been just a smidge bit too salty, but that's just a matter of preference. Very lovely presentation. THE DESSERT: - I'm off sweets for this month, so I couldn't indulge, but man oh man did I want that red velvet cake. The couple next to us had it and seemed to truly enjoy it. ****SUMMARY: If you're looking for a great upscale carribean/island/latin type restaurant THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO. The way they mix savory and sweet flavors are to die for. Cafe Circa is hands down my new favorite restaurant. I've never been on a busy night, so I don't know how well food and service is then, but I highly recommend going there... like weekday evening. I doubt you'll be disappointed. Cafe Circa, the chef, whoever was cooking on Dec 12th hats off, kisses, you did an amazing job and we should have asked you to come out. I mean, SOOOO GOOOD. And upon leaving I saw another couple eating cocoa bread, the exact type I like too... geez, you guys are winning in so many ways. I WILL BE BACK read more

If you want to fight all night long with bones in your mouth, don't get the the fried whole snapper. Not worth it and not seasoned especially for $22.00. I've been to restaurants that deboned the entire snapper. But this was the worst snapper I've ever had in my life, I only ate 5% of the fish because I fought the entire meal with bones. With my meal I had grits, now moving to Atlanta I've experienced good grits and bad grits. Lets just say the amount of butter that was in my grits I could oil my big curly hair with and grease down my body. And that's all folks. read more

service is absolutely disgusting! do not go here they will scam you and then treat you like your the problem. We came in to spend $$ & they tried to charge us $600 for a table. The hookera took the hookah out from my friend's hand accusing her of not ordering the service then said she gave her the "wrong flavor". you can't even taste the flavor it was like smoking ashes. They didn't tend to our trash at the table quick enough we had to throw away our own garbage. Only thing good was the DJ & hype man. read more
